A word for “wide” appearing as an element in the compound landanóre “wide country” in the 1958 poem Löa Yucainen. ᴹQ. landa “wide” also appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√LAD (Ety/LAD).

Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. landa “wide, broad” appeared all the way back in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s where it was derived from the early root ᴱ√LAŘA [LAÐA] (QL/51). In this document it also had an augmented form alanda of the same meaning (QL/34, 51), and this augmented alanda appeared in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “wide” (PME/34).
